Pros: Good Top end power with a simple and clean design
Cons: A little loud between 2K to 4k rpm

The install is straight forward but little tight when connecting the silicone tube to the turbo inlet hose. The power was good, on the low end its about the same but it has excellent response at high rpms. It is a little loud when you get on the gas til about 4k rpm then it quiets down. On cruising speed(70-80mph) with light throttle input, you don't hear anything at all. For those who like the whooosh sound the BOV makes, you will love this product, it is very much heard. And also I gained a good 1-1.5 mpg for those who are concerned about their gas mileage. :up:

Pros: Power increase, noise increase
Cons: too much noise? for some maybe

This is a great product, easy to install, made with great materials and i could actually feel the increase in power. The noises are great, loud turbo whoosh as it spools as well as now i can hear the bypass valve. This eliminated the intake unit and that annoying silencer box. I highly reccomend this product.

Pros: Awesome turbo sound as a result
Cons: Not exactly a perfect fit (hardware issues)

I've owned several imported sports cars (Prelude with a Spoon engine/Acura RSX-S) and wanted to go with something a little more conservative but had power. I bought the Legacy GTL just for that but when buying a car wih turbo, half the fun is getting to listen to the compressor spool up along with the discharge. So I was a little dissappointed when I brought the LGT home... until I got this. I understand that this car is in a class where most people don't want to hear those typical turbo sounds but for those of us that do, get this product. The sound it provides from the turbo spooling and the release valve discharging is almost obnoxious... in a good way. My next purchase was going to be a BOV but you're wasting your money in buying one because this provides you with all the noise you could ever want. On the downside, the mounting hardware had me a little nervous and the directions guided you to the wrong stock mounting holes but was able to figure it out and some bending of the support bracket made it work. Would definately recommend this product. Could care less about the gas mileage and power I got from it, I just wanted the noise.

Pros: Easy Install. Butt Dyno feels like it adds power. Turbo Noises
Cons: Oily MAF

I initially bought this product becuase I was going to add a custom FMIC. I purchased from Rallitek. The butt dyno feels like it added power, but it could be the turbo noises. I like noises it makes, you can really hear the stock BOV.

Pros: Sound, Quality, Fitment
Cons: None

Produces an absolutly awesome sound. It makes the engine soud a lot deeper and hearing the BOV is awesome. I wasn't expecting it to be as loud as it is. I love it, its almost obnoxious. I highly recommend this product. I cant say that i noticed any power gain. Sound is awesome period. BUY THIS INTAKE.

Greetings all--
I'm a GT wannabe--could only afford the '09 2.5i.
I do love the car, though.

Does anyone know if this intake fits the 2.5i?

Thanks,

The subie-newbie
